It is group photo time!

Volunteers spent a day hiking with a group of energetic seniors and savouring the beautiful scenery along the Tai Tan Country Trail. They all enjoyed the breathtaking scenery at Hoi Ha Wan, and both the elderly and volunteers alike had a joyful Saturday together.

In this service, I hiked with the elderly. I enjoyed it very much. I do not only have a hike to relax, but I also had a chance to chat with the elderly. I was quite surprised that the elderly is quite active and talkative. I can chat and talk with them about almost everything. I gained some life experiences from them. So, if I had a chance I would like to do a service with the elderly again.

今天遇上了一群有能量,外向的年輕長者,與他們結伴郊遊。原本以為只說家常便飯之事,怎料他們學富五車,說了很多不同的專業見解,上知煮食,下知不同國家的風土人情,更對我未來交流的選擇國家有啟發。
